My family was lucky enough to do three separate private tours through Italy With Family: the Colosseum/ancient Rome tour, a Vatican Mysteries tour, and a tour of the papal tombs and St. Peter's Basilica. All three tours were led by Gigi, a veritable font of knowledge with a PhD in archaeology. Gigi was a delight to tour with--he knew tons about all the sites we visited and made us laugh as well. Even my eleven-year-old son was engaged and is still talking about how much he loved the tours. Excellent value for the cost--would absolutely recommend and book again.

Lucia was our guide and she gave an excellent tour ! She was able to describe the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum in great detail and show how the buildings and area would have looked in Ancient Rome. She was very passionate about her subject and we learned so much from her. When she brought us over to the Colosseum she was able to point out details that we would not have noticed and despite the crowds, was able to navigate the area with a practiced ease. There is no doubt that she knows and loves her subject and her talent lies in how she is able to communicate that to a group and engage them in the experience. She welcomed any and all questions and we were truly sorry when the tour ended. I would highly recommend the tour !
